hill station of Shimla. Chandigarh is bounded by the
states of Haryana in the east and Punjab on all other sides. The
city of Chandigarh is the capital of the territory, as well as
the joint capital of the states of Haryana and Punjab.
Chandigarh city is the first `planned' city of India and covers
an area of 56 sq km. Designed by the French architect Le
Corbusier and his team of architects, the city has neatly laid
out roads and parks, buildings ranging against mountain peaks,
boulevards and streets lined by endless rows of trees and
shrubs.
Chandigarh is an excellent stopover option on the Delhi-Manali
and Delhi-Shimla Route.
Like Delhi-Gurgaon-Noida, Chandigarh alongwith Mohali (Punjab)
and Panchkula (Haryana) form a single contiguous mass of urban
maze and all three seamlessly merge into each other to give a
feeling of a single city.
Panchkula is home to Mansa Devi temple. Mohali and Panchkula are
now home to quite a few industries and are booming townships
merged into Chandigarh.
